Have you ever just followed your gut instinct and thrown a punt on a risky bet? Turns out, "betting with your gut" is pretty common among UK bettors, so we launched a survey under the #OddsOverFiction hashtag and asked 1,000 sports bettors about their sports betting habits. We found a lot of interesting statistics on this topic. For example, basketball bets tend to be the most gut-based, with 60% of basketball bettors saying they're mostly led by their hunch rather than relying on tipsters and seasonal stats. You know, actual data. Of course, our goal here wasn't just to probe public opinion, but also to educate bettors and advise them to better assess the risks. You can check out the whole research and our article here: https://www.askgamblers.com/gambling-news/ag-news/gut-instincts-dont-trust-your-gut

Its Match day and we have the Finals of the women's T20 World cup, New Zealand vs South Africa. Both teams have the same record at this year’s world cup, played 5 won 4 and lost 1. Both the team were second in their respective groups and defeated the table toppers to reach the finals. Irrespective of past performances both the teams are equal at this point and both are capable of winning the Cup. Looking at the head to head New Zealand has won on 11 occasions and South Africa has won 4 times. New Zealand last reached the finals in 2009 and 2008 and lost to Australia on both occasions. South Africa reached the finals last year and they too lost to Australia. New Zealand are not the favorites according to the bookies and betting a dollar on them would return you $2.33. South Africa is looking strong since they defeated Australia and betting a dollar would return you $1.54. This match is really interesting as the strong point of both teams is their batting. They have really made some great scores and thankfully their bowlers have supported them well. Laura Wolvaardt has been the best batter for South Africa and I suggest you pick her to score the most runs. This will give you a return of $3.25 on a bet of $1. Kapp has been the best bowler for them but I believe it will be N Mlaba with a better performance in this match and this is why she is my pick for the best bowler and betting a dollar on her will get you $4. For New Zealand it's Amelia Kerr all the way, best batter and bowler. Betting on her to be the best batter and bowler for her side will get you $3.75 and $3.60 respectively on a bet of $1.

Sports betting bonuses may not be as popular as casino bonuses but they do have a market and players love to take these bonuses as they get extra money to play with. If you ever want to take a sports bonus there are a few things you need to keep in mind and let’s see a few of them. Sports bonuses are usually 100% and in some cases 150%to 200% so always check the maximum amount claimable on these bonuses. These bonuses come with wagering requirements that range from 5x to 20x. That means that you need to rollover your bonus amount 5x to 20x times. Sports bonuses sometimes have a requirement that the bonus can be only wagered on sports events that have odds of certain range for example 1.5-3.5. It means if an event that has odds lower than 1.5 and higher than 3.5 may not accept your bets or even if they do accept your bets the wager may not be taken into consideration. Another important thing to keep track is bonus duration as bonuses expire after certain days. Most casinos give 30 days to clear bonus duration but this may be lower at some places to 14 or even 7 days. While placing a bet avoid using features like bet builder, bet accumulator or any other feature as it may be against bonus terms since it gives you really high odds. One very important thing you need to know while wagering sports bonuses is to not cancel too many bets as firstly it doesn’t just not contribute to wager but too =many bet cancellations may lead to your bonus being cancelled at some casinos. Casinos may also apply a max cash out limit to sports bonuses just like slot bonuses so please check what the max cash out available with your bonus is.

Tennis is one of the most popular and easiest sports to bet on as its rules are not too complicated. Let’s see the various events you can bet on during a game of tennis. The most obvious bet you can make on a game of tennis is which player is going to win, player/team A or B. The winner of a tennis game is decided when a player wins 2 sets in a best of 3 or 3 sets in a best of 5 event. Best of 5 events are usually for men that too during Grand slams. You can bet which player is going to win by a set of 2-0, 2-1 and in some cases 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2. Betting on sets is a great option as it ends quicker and sometimes even stronger players end up losing the first or second set which gives you higher odds. You can also bet on the score of the set like will it be 6-0, 6-1, and 6-2 and so on. Bets like these give you great odds. Further you can also bet on the total number of games. During every set a player has to reach 6 points first and also needs to have a difference of two points to win that set. If two players reach 6-6 a tie breaker is played and the first player to reach 7 points wins the tiebreaker. If both players reach 7 points then the first player to lead by a further two points wins the set. You can bet how many points there will be per set and even per game. These events give you higher odds compared to picking the winner or how many sets a match will have. Next time you decide to bet on a tennis match don't just go for the winner and try to explore better options that give you higher odds.

Casinos have various ways to bring players into Sports betting and Freebets is easily the favourite of both, the casino and players. A freebet bonus is given to players as a deposit bonus or a no deposit bonus. Casino players may assume that the freebet obtained after a deposit is like a cashback as it’s usually given on losses. When you place a freebet and successfully win on an event the initial amount is deducted and you are left with your final winnings. For example if you get $5 as a freebet and place it on an event which has 1.5 odds then you will get $7.5 in winnings out of which the initial amount of $5 will be deducted and you will be left with your winnings of $2.5. A no deposit freebet is given by casinos during major sports events or as a sign up bonus and usually ranges from $1 to $10. Some casinos give this bonus without any wager requirements but there may be a maximum win limit from this bonus. The casino may also require you to make a deposit to withdraw the winning funds. Some casinos apply standard wagering requirements to the winning amount and you can only bet the winnings on events with specific odds. Casinos like to promote sports events by offering its players freebets on their losses. Lots of punters are excited to try betting on events like NBA Finals, Boxing, NFL finals, Football world cup, Euros and other major sporting events and if they place a bet and lose it, they are given a freebet in return which is usually the amount they had initially or a specific amount decided by the casino. The freebet given to their account is not restricted to a particular sport or an event. These bonuses have standard wagering requirements and bets are usually allowed on events with specific odds. Most casinos have a maximum cashout limit from freebets so please read the terms carefully before claiming yours.

I am fully disappointed and frustrated with this company They removed my winnings 464€ without acceptable reason I wins one bonus with rollover 150,00 and with maximum winnings limited in 100€ Then I done bets using the bonus (prove evidence here in attachments files) and ended the rollover with 119,56 as proved in this image of prove evidence Then, after this moment of rollover ended, all bets I done (thousands of bets for long days of last weeks) was done using deposit funds, bonus deposit funds (other bonus) and real money I then have now 522,56€. I asked a withdraw and when the finance team was remove that extra 19,56 (because with the bonus I wins 119,56 but the maximum is 100,00) then this team wrong and removed 464€ I am being stoled by Tipbet, I am fully disappointed and frustrated with it. I have all print screen of my thousands bets done for long days there. And the prove evidence of page bonus (prove evidence here in attachments files) proving they would must to remove only 19,56 I think they are promesing bonuses only for to lie, offers liers without to honour if the customer to win and end the hard rollover with some profit, only as strategy of marketing I think, then, Tipbet is scam company. I am unhappy with this and resolved to public for millions of peoples in all world here in this forum, as alert of scam company

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are all having a lucky day. I want to get feedback on the new live streaming of sports betting, namely a concept called BetStream. eSports is currently a huge industry that is going to break over $1B in value in 2017. Now what BetStream does is allow experienced handicappers to live stream their picks and build a following of less experienced bettors that watch them win. The experienced bettors are competing against each other for prestige on the global leader board and, of course, prizes such as cash and trips. The less experienced, new bettors, bet for points and once they get a certain amount they can become BetStreamers just like the people they were following before. When this happens they get access to many things like adding a subscribe/donate button to their feed and also are eligible to share in any profits from traffic they draw to their profiles. So it is really a great way to get into sports betting if you just want to get your feet wet and then get the rest of you in the water if it's warm enough. Check YouTube (Channel: BetStream) and Twitch (Channel: BetStream) if you have an account. Any feedback is welcome. Please subscribe if this is something you would like to participate in; we will guarantee a fixed amount of points for you to play with as a thank you for being there at the beginning. Check us out!

Since this is the Ask Gamblers forum I wanted to share and advise fellow members of the community with an AMA (Ask Me Anything). My name is Jon Price and I run SIT Picks aka Sports Information Traders. Within the last few years I have gone more public with my wagers and bets. Being featured in Yahoo! Finance, Forbes Magazine, Inc., Ante Up, Cardplayer, Gambling911.com, and well the list goes on and on. I let other Covers forum members know about my bet prior to the big game and got a couple of thanks for the big win. I placed over a million dollars in bets on the Mayweather Pac-man fight. In September I correctly predicted during an interview with the Huffington Post that the Denver Broncos would win the super bowl and placed a big fat wager on the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series in 2015. I've had big highs and big lows but my stable psychological state, great analytical research, and that gut feeling has helped propel me to be one of the all time greats. Today in my day to day I still wager on games and work on handicapping via my website you can see here. I developed a service to educate bettors about the long term outlook and to stop with all of these no good for nothing touts. I'm a black swan in a grey lake as I like to tell my peers. So ask away and I will be glad to share my knowledge with the community here.
